!5 years ago I received cisplatin IV post surgically for dx of ovarian cancer. In the years since, I hae developed peripheral neuropathy, sepcially in the feet and I am wondering if it could be a side effect from that drug. I also received cytoxin at the same time. Any experiences or anectodotal information would be appreciated. Published: November 25, 2008 ::
